Whats the point with blessed or cursed books or towels?

I mean there have to be a reason for them to be blessed in the first place.

And if not then they should add some buffs or debuffs to them if you use them.

Cursed books can cause you to unlearn a spell, at least a spell book. Otherwise the gold value might be effected.

Cursed towels, probably just value. It might also not clear the blind debuff or greasy hands debuff. But I'm not sure.

Things like cursed staves of open, dig, pickaxes all seem silly to be cursed, you can still use them, but you'll have to use them till they break. Which isnt too bad, they're just much less useful than a non cursed one.

Would be cool if they had a blessing or curse put onto you if you read it or even summoned something out of the book that had something to do with what was writen in it.

might be neat if it did something like
blessed books increase INT or PER by 1 and then crumble
cursed blind you and crumble

though they're a bit common, might be too good
